Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion The Water Cooler OT - A confession

I work with a lady golfer, who on one occasion was golfing with another co-worker. She was standing 90 degrees to him and his teed-up ball. He hit it off the toe of the club and drilled her right on the ankle bone!! So, if you hear of a guy named "Bruce" on the tee box, run for cover!!!

I am confused, why the change of speakers? Is this considered an upgrade? Or did you just need to match your furniture and Rocket was a closer match? I dont think there has been anyone that I can remember that has owned and championed Axioms for over a year that all of a sudden went to Rockets. From what a lot of people have said, the sound is so different that people usually like one or the other.

I am so confused...

Ah Ray Ray RAY, what WERE you thinking?
Clearly exchanging the Axioms for anything less than Wilson Audio is simple insanity at its best.

Chess - LOL!!! There are SO many different choices out there.

snippy - no real reason to be confused. As I said earlier, I still think the Axioms are excellent speakers and one of the best values out there. I whole-heartedly recommend them. Certainly my recommendations always included a proviso that one's own ears need to make the decision.

There is no magic here, my personal preferences swung to the Rockets once I had a chance to spend a weekend listening to them. They simply give me (and my wife) a bit "more" of what we like.

I don't think it appropriate to begin a detailed discussion that would simply end up pitting one set against the other - they are both excellent products. Personal preference drives us to make these decisions and mine has changed slightly.

We got give Ray a break here.
You know confusion sets in at his age.

I am tempted to say that the obvious tie in with Ajax freebie....

But, I also own IMHO better speakers, and wish everyone be happy with their personal choices in life.
Sounds like a golf course home is a great place to be!
For me, a ski on/off chalet hopefully awaits me in the Alps when I decide technology no longer drives me in life!

Sounds a lot like my golf game! Or as I like to call it "How to Skillfully Avoid All the Well-Groomed Grass."

Thanks, Ray, no I understand, you do consider it an upgrade to what you believe is a better sound, which is great. It sounds like it was a lot of fun being with the head of Rocket and Craig.

For me, golf is like a REALLY long game of croquet.

I saw the title of a confession from Ray and figured you were finally admitting that yes, you are a sales person for the MX remote series and you are getting commissions for all these sales!

Good luck with the speakers Ray. Your old set was nice and sounded good, so I can only imagine what you've heard in the Rockets to cause the switch. I've never heard Rockets, so I will reserve judgement there. Maybe I'll check them out sometime once you are all setup and I am making another visit to the in laws.

A house on the golf course sounds nice...you'll get to play lots more. I'd say perhaps we could play a round as well, but I don't know how much you'd want to suffer through a round with someone whose best score ever was 110, considers a double bogey as a good score, and is really just generally considered successful when a score of double par (my max when I keep score) doesn't have to be written down for a hole.

Then again, I could use some lessons
